WEBVTT LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. THOUGH AS ONE OFFICIAL PUT IT THERE'S STILL A LOT OF FIGHT LEFT IN THE DOG HEAD FIRE. AFTER DAYS OF PLAYING DEFENSE FIREFIGHTERS SAY THEY'RE NOW GOING ON OFFENSE HOLDING THE FIRE BACK KNOCKING DOWN FLAMES AND PUTTING OUT HOT SPOTS. >> EVERY DAY WE'RE SEEING LESS AND LESS ACTIVITY. ROBERT: SKY 7 HAD A HARD TIME SPOTTING FLAMES THIS AFTERNOON AND WE NOTICED LESS SMOKE IN THE AIR TOO. >> IT'S A VERY GOOD SIGN. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE TOTALLY OUT OF THE IMPACTS BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT IT'S BEEN A VERY GOOD DAY AND WE'VE MADE GOOD PROGRESS. ROBERT: CREWS ARE NOW ABLE TO GET CLOSE ENOUGH ON THE GROUND TO ATTACK THE FIRE DIRECTLY WITH HOSES AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT. >> I FEEL PRETTY GOOD ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW. I'M NOT TOO CONCERNED AT THIS POINT. I TRUST WHAT THEY'RE DOING. ROBERT: RYAN STEFFENS LIVES A MILE AND A HALF FROM THE FIRE LINE AND HOPES IT DOESN'T SPREAD MUCH MORE THAN IT ALREADY HAS. >> IT'S HEARTBREAKING. I'VE GROWN UP IN THAT AREA MY ENTIRE LIFE. MY FRIENDS UP THERE. I KNOW PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHOSE HOMES ARE PROBABLY NOT THERE ANY MORE. ROBERT: FIREFIGHTERS SAY IT PROBABLY WILL SPREAD AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT MORE. BUT THEY'RE OPTIMISTIC THAT THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN ON THEIR SIDE. HOWEVER THEY ADMIT THIS FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER. >> SOMETIMES WINDS COME UP AND MOTHER NATURE DOESN'T HELP US
